Genetic variation in the androgen receptor gene mainly causes early-onset hair loss, with maternal inheritance playing a key role.

This study found that the AR-E211 A allele is associated with a lower risk of both metastatic prostate cancer and androgenetic alopecia in an Australian population.
research Treatment of Female Pattern Hair Loss With Oral Antiandrogens
This study found that 88% of women with female pattern hair loss who received oral antiandrogens saw no progression or improvement in their condition.
research Kenogen in Female Androgenetic Alopecia
This study suggests that an increase in kenogen phases, along with rising vellus hair cycles and fewer normal hair cycles, is associated with the progression of female androgenetic alopecia.
research The Reliability of Horizontally Sectioned Scalp Biopsies in the Diagnosis of Chronic Diffuse Telogen Hair Loss in Women
This study observed that triple horizontal scalp biopsies provided a more accurate diagnosis of female pattern hair loss in women than a single horizontal biopsy, especially for those with advanced hair loss.
research A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial of 5% and 2% Topical Minoxidil Solutions in the Treatment of Female Pattern Hair Loss
In this 48-week trial, 5% topical minoxidil was more effective than both 2% minoxidil and placebo in promoting hair growth in women with female pattern hair loss, with notable improvements in nonvellus hair count and hair growth assessments.
research Prevalence of Polycystic Ovaries in Women with Androgenic Alopecia
This study found that women with androgenic alopecia had a higher prevalence of polycystic ovarian morphology and higher androgen levels compared to controls, suggesting a strong association with PCO.
research Hair Transplanting: An Important but Often Forgotten Treatment for Female Pattern Hair Loss
This article explains why modern hair transplant techniques can be effective for women with pattern hair loss, despite this being underrecognized.
research Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Alopecia in Women
This study found that flutamide at 250 mg daily modestly improved hair thinning in premenopausal women with hyperandrogenic alopecia over one year, while cyproterone acetate and finasteride were not effective.
research Hair Loss in Women with Hyperandrogenism: Four Cases Responding to Finasteride
This study reports that oral finasteride improved or stabilized hair loss in women with hyperandrogenism but not in postmenopausal women with female pattern hair loss.
research Effects of Minoxidil 2% vs. Cyproterone Acetate Treatment on Female Androgenetic Alopecia: A Controlled, 12-Month Randomized Trial
Minoxidil works better for female hair loss, but cyproterone reduces scalp oiliness and causes menstrual issues.
research Kenogen
This study describes the kenogen phase, where hair follicles rest after shedding, and finds its duration and frequency are greater in individuals with androgenetic alopecia, potentially contributing to baldness.
research The Prevalence and Types of Androgenetic Alopecia in Korean Men and Women
In this study, the prevalence of androgenetic alopecia among Korean men and women was found to be lower than in caucasians, with Korean men showing more frontal hairline preservation and a higher incidence of 'female pattern' hair thinning.
research Polymorphism of the Androgen Receptor Gene Is Associated with Male Pattern Baldness
This study found that specific genetic markers near the androgen receptor gene are significantly more common in men with male pattern baldness, suggesting a genetic component in its development.
research Hair Density, Hair Diameter, and the Prevalence of Female Pattern Hair Loss
FPHL affects hair density and diameter, causing visible hair loss in older women.
research Incidence of Female Androgenetic Alopecia (Female Pattern Alopecia)
Hair loss in women is common, starts in late 20s, and affects 30% of women over 50.
research Lack of Efficacy of Finasteride in Postmenopausal Women with Androgenetic Alopecia
In this study, finasteride 1 mg/day for 12 months did not improve hair growth or slow hair thinning in postmenopausal women with androgenetic alopecia compared to placebo.
research Diffuse Hypertrichosis During Treatment with 5% Topical Minoxidil
In this study, five women with androgenetic alopecia experienced severe facial and limb hypertrichosis after using 5% topical minoxidil, which resolved after discontinuing the treatment.
research Chronic Telogen Effluvium: Increased Scalp Hair Shedding in Middle-Aged Women
The authors concluded that chronic telogen effluvium in middle-aged women presents distinct clinical and histological features that differ from androgenetic alopecia and acute telogen effluvium.
research A Prospective Study of the Prevalence of Clear-Cut Endocrine Disorders and Polycystic Ovaries in 350 Patients Presenting with Hirsutism or Androgenic Alopecia
In this study of women with hirsutism or androgenic alopecia, diverse underlying endocrine disorders including polycystic ovaries and various enzyme deficiencies were detected, often associated with elevated testosterone levels.
research Use of Topical Minoxidil Therapy for Androgenetic Alopecia in Women
This study found that 2% topical minoxidil solution was significantly more effective than placebo in promoting new hair growth in women with androgenetic alopecia.
research Psychological Effects of Androgenetic Alopecia on Women: Comparisons with Balding Men and Female Control Subjects
This study found that androgenetic alopecia causes significant psychological distress, particularly in women, who exhibit a more negative body image and less adaptive functioning compared to controls.
research Diagnostic and Predictive Value of Horizontal Sections of Scalp Biopsy Specimens in Male Pattern Androgenetic Alopecia
This study concluded that horizontal sections of scalp biopsy specimens provide more diagnostic information for male pattern androgenetic alopecia than vertical sections and can predict hair regrowth potential following topical minoxidil therapy.
research Treatment of Female Androgenetic Alopecia with Minoxidil 2%
This study found that minoxidil 2% increased nonvellus hair counts in women with female androgenetic alopecia without causing serious side effects, compared to a placebo.
research Quantitative Estimation of Hair Growth: Androgenetic Alopecia in Women and the Effect of Minoxidil
Minoxidil promotes hair growth in women with early-stage alopecia.
research The Inheritance Of Common Baldness: To Be Or Not To Be?
This study presents evidence suggesting that androgenetic alopecia is most likely inherited through a polygenic model, challenging the traditional view that it is caused by a simple Mendelian autosomal dominant gene.
research Classification of the Types of Androgenetic Alopecia (Common Baldness) Occurring in the Female Sex
This article presents a classification system for stages of female-pattern androgenetic alopecia to aid early diagnosis and mentions existing systems for rare male-pattern cases, but reports no new clinical results.
